I strongly believe that The Villages does not release any personal information. However, as soon as your sale is recorded with the County Assessor that is all public record and many companies hire people who's job is to find new consumers in the area.

I don't think you'll have a problem with people knocking on your door, such as landscapers and gardeners as that is strictly prohibited in TV.

Hanging up the phone works pretty well. Also, WELCOME and enjoy. It's not going to be as bad as you might be thinking.


I agree.
